One natural anti-inflammatory, marshmallow root, is particularly effective in soothing sore throat pain. Use one heaping teaspoon of marshmallow root pieces in one cup of boiling water. Let steep for 20 minutes and strain. You can safely drink up to six cups daily. For sore throats accompanied by cold and flu symptoms, try peppermint or ginger tea. Peppermint reduces fever by helping you to sweat, and ginger alleviates chills and aching muscles, and relieves nausea. Use one teaspoon of dried ginger root or dried peppermint leaves per cup of water. For greater convenience, tea bags also can be used. Drink 3 to 6 cups daily. – Brigitte Mars https://ofnhs.akaraisin.com/ui/16827/ team/185685 Quotes for October… “ October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness.
